We did not make the fall rally last year (we were at the first one). I would like to see Shy, we had 5 ferrets several years ago (3 sable, 1 albino, and 1 butterscotch). The are neat pets and we could watch them play for hours. Have you ever set up a childs play pool for yours? We would tilt the pool so one end had water and other end was dry (but not for long when thery were playing in the water. Jack

We are planning on being there. I think Dad will want to come back also. He had a great time last year. I will have two, possibly three kids with me. I know Alison had a "blast" with the bottle rockets last year. She still has her record setting rocket hanging in her room. Hope you will bring the rocket rig again. I could operate that for the kids if need be. And of course we will have Shy, the ferret, on a leash again.

Really had a great time last year, met great folks and made good Friends. Wonder if Cliff has anymore Solo bus conversion stories he wants to share? Having been there and done that I could really relate.

Looking forward to seeing you all again,

Breck

Anna will be happy to know y'all will be there!

I'll make another launcher, I got talked out of the last one. but it was for a good cause

This is looking like a FUN WEEKEND! What with Breck and the ferret, Jack and Paula, ..... Kyle, get the caller to bring whatever canned music he uses....Gary's sound system (??) will work for the caller and sound reinforcement. I don't know Bo from square dance, but it sounds like fun! What with our local 'rugged individualism,' we do (did?) the clogging thing. That's a sorta 'one couple' square dance? Could set that show up in the shelter on Friday night and invite the whole campground....? There are probably a good many square dancers among the Airstream campers.All excited! JR

You are right, the ferret is a great pet. She is litter box trained and has free run of the house. She loves to hide stuff. We don't really mind because she always puts everything in the same places. When the insoles for my work shoes are missing I always know to look under the dresser. We will try the pool idea, sounds like fun. Shy enjoyed swimming in the creek behind the campground last year.

I think it's great of you guys to go so far out of the way as to provide furniture to make a fellow bus nut's pet feel at home. Thanks guys.

Kyle,

Don't go to too much trouble for another launcher. There will be plenty to do.

If you all remember last year's Non-Rally at the Cove was our maiden voyage. We put over three thousand miles on the bus this summer. It ran great and has really gained my confidence. It will be a work in progress for several more years but we have really enjoyed using her this summer. This will probably be our last trip for the year and don't know of a better place to wrap up the summer.

We had to "Ferret Proof" our bus. It is amazing how small a hole they can get through. Our butterscotch would take the kitchen sink drain stopper and put it on the floor in front of the pantry. I would put it back in the sink and she would immediately put it back on the floor in front of the pantry. We made the space under one side of the dinette ther "home" (this was a nice place for their litter pan also). Jack

Take a guess who might be attending and I'm sure ruining some of their fun although it shouldn't?

He he he...

Workin out the d's as we type!

By the way, JR are you makin the trip to Arcadia this year?

Ace

Get Susan's fiddle tuned up! Kyle's got a caller for Sat night...and we'll have some more pickers Sat afternoon and evening. We are planning on doing Arcadia...unless fuel spikes again.. T is off for sure this year. And, so far, the bus is running well.And, assuming no global cooling and glaciers...and stuff like that. BTW, South Carolina has some of the least expensive diesel in the US. Try to arrive near empty! When leaving Palmetto last October, I topped off the bus. Saved more than a dollar a gallon this summer. Filled up the bus with $4.80 diesel this summer...bumMER! What's up with Cliff and Julie? Cliff is now a famous banjo picker! Cliff??
